An Examination Of Online Social Networks Properties With Tie-Strength
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past, most researchers focused on the efficacy of tie-strength in various applications for both online and offline social networks. However, how tie-strength can help in the analysis of online social networks was a commonly neglected issue. The massive size and recording properties of online social networks offer the possibility to measure tie-strength objectively. In this study, we examine a social network extracted from a blog network. We then propose a tie-strength measurement and investigate several properties of the network using the tie-strength we defined. We also study how tie-strength plays a role in these properties.

The widespread use of online social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, is generating a growing amount of accessible data concerning social relationships. The aim of this work is twofold. First, we present a detailed analysis of a real Facebook data set aimed at characterising the properties of human social relationships in online environments. We find that certain properties of online soci...
متن کاملThe Social Bow Tie
Understanding tie strength in social networks, and the factors that influence it, have received much attention in a myriad of disciplines for decades. Several models incorporating indicators of tie strength have been proposed and used to quantify relationships in social networks, and a standard set of structural network metrics have been applied to predominantly online social media sites to pre...

Online Social Networks (OSNs) are more and more establishing as one of the key means to create and enforce social relationships between individuals. While substantial results have been obtained in the anthropology literature describing the properties of human social networks (built “outside” the OSN world), a clear understanding of the properties of social networks built using OSNs is still to ...
متن کاملMeasuring tie strength in multidimensional networks
Online social networks have allowed us to build massive networks of weak ties: acquaintances and nonintimate ties we use all the time to spread information and thoughts. Conversely, strong ties are people we really trust, persons most like us and whose social circles tightly overlap with our own. Unfortunately, social media do not incorporate tie strength in the creation and management of relat...
متن کاملThe Navigability of Strong Ties: Small Worlds, Tie Strength and Network Topology
We examine data on and models of small world properties and parameters of social networks. Our focus, on tie-strength, multilevel networks and searchability in strong-tie social networks, allows us to extend some of the questions and findings of recent research and the fit of small world models to sociological and anthropological data on human communities. We offer a ‘navigability of strong tie...
